There is, of course, a pretty girl behind it all--Miss Ralston who greatly ad- mires men of "the great open spaces." The picture is taken up with how the star goes about win- ning the girl's heart when he arrives on his uncle's ranch in Arizona and finds that the west of yesterday and the west of to-day are entirely dif- ferent. E How he goes about rearranging 80 as to make the ranch look like "the real thing" whet: the girl arrives to see her new-made hero is a big laugh.

The title alone ought to be enough to get you in and, believe us, the picture will surely make you mighty glad you went, "Womanhandled" is the type of clean, keen, wholesome material the whole family will enjoy.

Chicago, Dec. 30.--Call a man Cawtul," & play "awful" and a meal "awful" and you make use of a word moulded into its sense by New Eng- landers. In England they refdr to the same group of dislikes ba the word "frightful." J Add "bogus," '"'caucus," "'gerry- mander,"" 'boom' and "buncombe" to your vocabulary and you have In- creased it by six purely American words, says Prof." Willlam A. Craigie of tha University of Chicago. The professor came to Chicago from England, where he edited the Oxford dictionary, to compile a dic- tionary of American English which is to include only words that have originated in America and those that have had meanings supplied by Am- erican writers. While at work in England, Prof. Craigie discovered that no serious effort had been made to trace the history of the whole vocabulary which had been in use in America from the coming of the first colon- ists. "Barly American writers and rec- ords, if cited at all," Prof. Craigie points out, "were usually. quoted for the use of some uncommén word or phrase, while modern writers are commonly cited only for some Ameri- canism. "The natural conclusion was that there was a need for a dictionary of a ney kind---one of the American tongue as a whole." The co-operation" of laymen and students throughout the country will be secured in compiling the dic- tionary. The method consists In writing out on separate slips of pa- per, such passages from selected books as contain either unusual words or phrases, or good examples of 'the use of common words and phrases. "Not only will the main stream be clearly mapped out," says Dr. Craigie, "but there will many little tributaries ahd quiet back- waters to explore for those who de- light'in the byways of knowledge." Special studies in the vocabulary of particular authors of definite periods, of types of literature, of areas of the country, of farming, mining and lumbering; the names of plants, trees, birds and fishes will be made by the same method of not- ing each item on a separate paper with clear indication of the source. From these millions of slips the editors, under Dr. Craigie's direc- tion, will begin the process of tabu- lation and compilation. The place for slang, Pro. Crafgte says, is either on the tongue of those who like it or in a slang dic- tionary, He admits, however, that a small percentage of the slang of one generation will be the usual speech of the next and will in the end become a natural part of. the written language. To this extent he says it must be recognized in any dictionary, and one of American English will afford numerous examples of this rise and fall of words. WHOOPING COUGH AND - MEASLES ON ISLAND J. J. Conley, Wolfe Island, Is Recovering From a Slight Stroke. 'Wolfe Island, Dec. 28.--The Wolfe Islander was able to reach the island wharf on both trips Saturday but the heavy freezing since has caused the ice to become very firm on the island shore. A great many island visitors for Christmas found themselves ice- bound as there is no crossing on the American channel. A great many children are laid up with whooping cough or measles and the attendance at the various schools before holidays, was conse- quently decreased. R. A.

The junior O.H.A. tea another practice at t morrow evening from five o'clock to six o'clock and it is hoped that there will be more candidates out than have been on hand at the other prac tices. A number of Queen's junior players have attended the workouts regularly but the boys from the city have failed to take an Interest in it and are making & big mistake. Ne person can say that there Is mot enough junior material after seeing the junior City League in action and these players should get out and make a bid for a berth on the team. The practice tomorrow afternoon will be an important one and it is sincerely hoped that the players will respond to the attempts to try out, and be at the Arena for the workout. Many juniors are modest about the affair and think they are not fast enough. At any rate there is no harm in trying and the men in charge of the team will be glad to receive them at the practices and give them every chance to show their wares. Y.M.C.A.
